Expeditions: The Alpine arch is a smut in the middle of the mountains of the world. Everywhere around the earth stand thousands of summits all nicer, more attractive, more wild. To attain them, no ski lifts, no roads: the force of legs, the local population assistant or of the animals whom people of there use.
An expedition is a trip, as the trekking, with other interests than with simple sports feat. The summit to be attained is also a pretext in discovery. Discovery of the country, its populations, bare of one, of its resistance, of its faculty to live summaries in conditions.
Nobody must leave in trekking without a good mountain experience. Your guide will drive you towards summits to your range. But in these distant massifs, everything has another dimension: altitude, mountain approach, the helps organisation, the ascent length, temperatures difference.
It is necessary to have some autonomy. In this type of trip, the guide is often the technical adviser. Each must participate in the realisation of plan. In France, the guide takes care of the logistics, of the administrative permissions. On place, he will manage transport, bearers or other means to transport the equipment (donkeys, female mules, yaks). He will organise the installation and the provision of the base camp and of the altitude camps. He will be the one who will look after the good health of each and follow acclimatisation at the altitude of all members.
Expedition is a hunt for treasures. Every mountaineer will be able to find his there treasures hidden among the mountains of the world are inexhaustible.
The most important is to leave. To reach the height is more uncertain but always extraordinary.
